Chapter 291: Chapter 59 Shu Puri’s Half-Life, Accumulating Enough Contribution (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"I suppose I should understand by now, but, Bishop, can we not talk in riddles?"

Xu Shu asked with an innocent face, "...I don’t understand. Could you explain the rules?"

"That won’t do, if you don’t understand then I can’t say more, absolutely not," Yu Mingluan shook his head at this point.

"Then, what if I do?" Xu Shu blinked his large eyes.

"Don’t be naughty," Yu Mingluan said with displeasure, "This is absolutely confidential, and even I was only told a little after I officially took the position of bishop of the Dawn Church, and ordinary Third Rank have no permission to know.

"When it’s time for you to know, you will naturally understand. If you don’t know and ask too much, it won’t be good for you once you do know. It involves too much, and it’s not your time yet. Don’t focus your thoughts on such matters."

"Oh~" Xu Shu appeared thoughtful.

So, he’s an insider.

Absolutely confidential, that meant signing a secrecy agreement like Lie Zhenzi.

It seemed likely that he was referring to the "Human Protection Act"!

Looking at it that way, had the Chosen One actually found a loophole?

Had they found some way to avoid detection by the Star Tower?

But how could they accomplish that?

Could it be that they were considered ’human’ when in a certain state?

When Xu Shu entered the safe zone on his own quest, he would trigger "Those who damage the Star Tower are not considered human" and then be killed by the Star Tower, and only then did he learn this information.

Speaking of which, the level of rationality of the Divine Chosen seems much higher than that of ordinary Abyss Path Transcendents of the four major factions.

In Xu Shu’s memory, whether it was Yang Manman from the Slaanesh faction or ’Ao Yaoqi’ from the Nagou faction.

After becoming Abyss Path Transcendents, their rationality decreased significantly, not at all like normal people; they were no different from monsters, with very chaotic behavior, retaining only a part of human memory, the rest acting entirely on bloodthirsty instincts.

They might as well be considered people who had been possessed by monsters.

By comparison, Magitelle, who was also bloodthirsty and murderous, was indeed much more human-like.

He was calm and composed, cunning and vicious, acting with purpose and methodically. As for being a perverted killer, that was his goal.

Additionally, whether the Star Tower would kill the traditional Transcendents of the Three Deceit Families was also questionable.

First off, Xu Shu had the Black Widow Curse Seal, but he was not normally considered ’non-human’.

Second, the claim that the Transcendents of the Evil Spirit, Abyss, and Alien Species pathways were no longer human was written by Melanie in the "Newbie Must-Read for the Human Transcendent Alliance."

Of course, having tried with the Mark Altar, Lie Zhenzi did not accept Yang Manman as a sacrifice, so she "was not human" to begin with.

But does being ’not human’ necessarily mean they will be judged as monsters and thus killed by the Star Tower?

Xu Shu felt that it wasn’t necessarily the case, but he also couldn’t prove it.

The most crucial issue was that others in the city couldn’t become Transcendents of these three pathways; they lacked the Curse Seals—except for himself.

For others to become one, they would have to take the route of being polluted without dying, which wasn’t exactly a proper way and was hard to replicate.

Ah, speaking of the Curse Seal of the Deceitful Three pathways...

Xu Shu suddenly remembered the Black Widow, remembered the Black Widow Count who had been lying in wait for him outside the border line.

A Third Rank indigenous Alien Species monster, not a Chosen One, I wonder if the Astronomy Association would be interested in helping hunt it down?

The Alien Species Earl was at least a "Purple Named" monster, after all!

But...

Xu Shu glanced at Yu Mingluan, somewhat tempted.

However, seeing his red robe and thinking of the efficiency with which he put away the two Curse Crystals,

Xu Shu eventually dismissed the idea after a second thought.

Better to leave it be!

Setting aside the fact that he wouldn’t share the purple Erosion Crystal from the kill,

just explaining why the Earl was hunting him was difficult!

If it led to pulling threads that ended with the Astronomy Association insisting on seeing his personal attribute interface in the ascension network, that would be damn awkward.

Even with Lie Zhenzi’s certification of "Human Warrior," it would be hard to put a good spin on it, leading to endless trouble.

So, after much thought, it was better to deal with the count’s matter slowly.

Anyway, Earl Lance wasn’t as frightening as the Divine Chosen who could evade the Star Tower’s detection.

Just a monster that could only hide outside the border line and wail pitifully was, at best, a moving food supply and no threat to him.

"When I reach the Third Rank, I must take that Earl Lance’s spider-like head to avenge this arrow," vowed Xu Shu silently.

Afterward, since Yu Mingluan had no more information to provide, Xu Shu prepared to leave after carefully saying goodbye.

During this time, Yu Mingluan repeatedly invited him to return to the city in the future, insisting he attend the grand mass at the Dawn Church to experience the atmosphere firsthand.

It was an invitation hard to refuse; after all, Xu Shu had made the mess, so he had to agree to it for the time being.

Next, he planned to continue heading north, hunting along the way.

The place was most likely marked by the Earl.

Staying here increased the chances of being ambushed.

It was time to change the battlefield.

Besides, Xu Shu knew that beyond a certain distance, Earl Lance could not sense the lingering aura of the Black Widow Empress.

As he left, Wasteland Hunter Matthew and his subordinates showed considerable reluctance, expressing their willingness to follow.

But Xu Shu refused.

It wasn’t entirely because they were too weak; in truth, they could contribute some fighting power if needed.

Moreover, in terms of knowledge, these people could help to some extent.
